Three of the four suspects linked to recent vehicle and business break-ins in Fruitport Township and Norton Shores allegedly tried to break into a convenience store in Muskegon County’s Sullivan Township, police said.

Muskegon County Sheriff Dean Roesler said the suspects -- ranging in age from 16 to 19 -- are believed to have tried to break into Kountry Korners, a convenience store at 5615 Heights Ravenna.

The 16-year-old, a Norton Shores girl, remained at large late Friday.

The names of the suspects haven’t been released by authorities, but three male suspects remained lodged in the Muskegon County Jail late Friday.

According to the sheriff’s report, sometime late Wednesday or very early Thursday, the store owner reported that a window had been damaged and someone had stuck “zebra-striped” tape all over the smashed glass.

Police found a partial roll of the duct tape under the window. They photographed it and placed it into evidence.

The police report says authorities confiscated the same type of designer duct tape from one of the suspects' vehicles connected to the other incidents.

The 19-year-old suspect told officers during an interview at the jail he had even used the zebra tape to mend a hole in his shoe, the report said. He said he had stolen the tape from a local Wal-Mart store.

Roesler said his office is seeking warrants to charge the three male suspects for the convenience store incident. He believes the suspects could be tied to other rural business break-ins that have occurred recently.
